This past weekend I adopted (rescued?) a male lop-eared rabbit. He has been neutered but I gather that his past living conditions were less than optimal, though he was not mistreated. I suspect he is about 2 years old and weighes nearly 7lbs. He was never litter-box trained and unlike what I've read in countless books, he is not "tidy" (ie, he will poop and urinate by his food, or wherever he pleases, never in the same spot, but never over the edge of the cage). I've tried moving the soiled bedding to the litter box but it's not working! Any other suggestions?
Also, he is EXTREMELY skiddish and does not like to be touched or held. Any ideas on bonding? He has already scratched my arm up pretty badly and thumped at me. Will he 'stay mad' or 'get over it'?
Thanks for any responses! I really do appreciate it!
